Cool, thanks! So it looks like in the Standings, they just list the last team he raced for, so in that case, STR-Ferrari


He replaced Kubica for one race after Kubica crashed in Canada.

ETA: Just looked it up and he was BMW Sauber test driver for the first part of the season and when he replaced Kubica, then got a race seat with STR for the remainder.

And he managed to start off his record breaking in that first race, 'Shortest time elapsed before gaining a penalty' 6 seconds into his F1 racing career for speeding in the pitlane.

Alesi 2001 points for Prost and Jordan


I didn't remember that, so checked back and it's really interesting. Shows the big difference between the points systems then and now. Under the points system then (1st - 6th getting points), Alesi managed only 5 points with a total of four points finishes. That's of course what's on his record.

Under the system today (1st - 10th getting points), with the same finishes he would have managed thirteen points finishes including eight consecutive points finishes and a grand total of 57 points.

The drivers of the past had it really hard to make it into the record books as a F1 points scorer!!
